Meet Rocket & Groot has 3 sub-events. Traditionally they are 24 hours long; it appears that one of the subs will be 48 hours this time. (Likely the middle one based on past pattern.)

Edit/Update: Yes, the second sub is 48 hours long.

    A little disappointed to see Hulk Green as the progression reward here, since that was the top 50 reward in The Hulk event. Also, Green is given out every single time The Hulk event runs.

    Not a whole lot of boosted purple this week... May have to break out OBW to run with She-Hulk and Cage.

    A reminder to everyone, too - the first sub you have to fight Juggernaut and Hood. Including a couple of nodes where Hood is fed yellow by goons. Which I keep hoping they'll tweak but they haven't yet.

    was really hoping black - mine is at 5/4/4 and that sure would help me hulkbomb 1 hard node per clear.

    Just realized this is the PvE where you go up against Doom in the last sub. I'm rather happy Hulk is boosted then. icon_e_smile.gif

    last run the 3* was at 18K. now is at 22K and leg at 44K. and only 3 subs, so only 3 chances at grinds. this one might be a little harder than the hulk one. maybe they adjusted node points, but I doubt it.

    So, other than lucky cascades, what's the best approach for handling L210-ish Hood, Muscle, and Bullseye?

    I've tried a lot of different teams of boosted and/or maxed 3* teams (except for a L202 XFW, my 4* roster are still babies) and no matter what I do, either Muscle feeds Hood and strike tiles kill me, or Hood drains all my AP and I can't get off the damage I need to kill anyone. I know once one guy goes down the other two will be easier, but getting to that first kill is just brutal.

    Honest question, how easy would it be to hit the final progression for the Legendary token if I didn't have the 2* Cap marvel?

    Might need to make space for her but I've got Thing (only 1 red) and Hulk (very well covered).

    it should still be doable but that depends entirely on your grind. im certain there will be people scoring 65k plus if not near 100k. those people are crazy (imho), but it will be done by people doing optimal clears and end of sub grinds. i think its up to you.

    I'm in the same boat, missing 2* Cap Marvel, but I am going to try for it. I was missing one of the essentials in the Hulk PVE but still managed to get Legendary token there.

    Good to know. I pulled a 2* Marvel just now with a standard token but I'd rather not waste a space for her. Already about to cash in HP for my Thing reward tonight. There's probably a 2* I could toss for her to have a rotating slot but... I dont wanna... icon_rolleyes.gif

    I almost always go for Fist vs hood or loki because their health is low enough that his automatic attack tile combined with match damage will usually take them out before they can do too much ap accumulation. Run him with boosted Cage for free protection and maybe boosted OBW for countdown delay/extra match dmg and you should be fine.

    I used She Hulk, KK and Luke Cage but normally I use IF against Hood. I did okay but I'll likely switch in IF for KK.

    Fist/cage is solid. I haven't started yet, but in goon feeder/Hood nodes previously I always took along Torch w/ +2 r/y ap boost. If you can get off his red quickly against Hood the match becomes trivial.

    not starting till the morning but fist/cage/torch is my planned A team here. no blue but not a huge deal.

    Thanks - Cage and Fist (with CMags for blue damage) did the trick. They were two of the last 3*s I had fully covered, so I still haven't worked out all their tricks, especially in PvE.

    Buy a slot for 2* Ms Marvel and sell her after the event ends. Use the spot for Iceman or the next new character you get.

    Thanks for suggesting IF/Cage/CMags for that last node Worked a treat after it had killed most of my roster
